No Roof System Lasts Forever

Roofs are subject to weather 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Neglecting roofs can result in leaks, degradation, or major damage. Without proper inspections and maintenance, roofs will prematurely fail.

It is important to understand the typical root causes of roof leaks or roof problems. Most issues can be traced back to one of three categories — design, materials, or workmanship — or a combination of the three.

If leaks are found or identified, be sure to do thorough remediation before repairing. Water can move down behind walls, and you’ll need proper tools and experience to be sure the area is fully dry before closing up to prevent mold growth.
